What site has the best deal on free stuff when you purchase a snowboard?

hey fellas, i'm gonna pull the trigger on a new ride machete, ive ran into a couple of websites that offer some free stuff when you make a large order. the-house.com is one but its not valid on 2011 boards... do you guys have any suggestions?

Yeah, I suggest you quit being so fucking cheap. You want allstar treatment and to get comped free shit? Try supporting your local shop. The money you spend there will be returned to you in kind in the form of maybe free wax/sharpening jobs, better features in your park, more support for local riders, a better shred scene at your home hill, and yes, free shit for being known. You'll also get a fuck of a lot better service if something goes wrong with your board.

Did you not get your bagel this morning? There is not a shop near me except a sports authroity lol

free shit is not as good as unconditional satisfaction guarantee. if you must buy online, go through Backcountry.com or Dogfunk.com; they will literally let you ride the snowboard and return it if you decide you don't like it. Dogfunk's prices will be the same as anyone else's since these are generally set by the manufacturer, not the retailer, and the only freebie you'll get is peace of mind.

You're dropping $430 on a new snowboard, better be either damn sure you like it, or you better be able to return it if it's not what you expected.

Edit: FWIW I've gotten some of those freebies from the-house.com before, generally speaking they're garbage. Sunglasses you've never heard of and don't really want. Another pair of ear buds that are just as uncomfortable as the pair you already own, etc.
